The Perfect Gourmet Gift for Your Man

The key to a man's heart is through his stomach. Corny? Yes. True? Also yes! Flowers might work for women, but nothing delights a man more than a box-full of gourmet beef! There are many mouth-watering options online that you can buy and have delivered to the gourmet man of your life (or, of right now). I picked my favorite gourmet specialty meats, perfect for any occasion, from a birthday present to a Fathers Day gift.

AUSTRALIAN WAGYU BEEF : Picture him opening a box filled with premium, butter-knife-tender juicy red steaks with sublimely generous marbling. This is no ordinary piece of meat; its Wagyu beef from Australia, made from the same cattle breed that produces Japanese Kobe beef. Australian Wagyu Beef is finished for a minimum of 300 days on a special Japanese formulation of grains to produce an incredibly marbled, high quality product. Its also healthy for him, since its substantially lower in saturated fat than any other beef, and with a higher fat quality. You can find a variety of delicious cuts of Wagyu like Inside Skirt Steak, Filet Mignon, New York Strip, Tenderloin and Rib Eye.

SPECIALTY MEATS : Man cannot live by bread alone…he needs some meat to go with it! What kind of man wouldnt melt like fondue in front of a big plateful of gourmet specialty meats like imported succulent Prosciutto di Parma? If hes a simple guy, go for a selection of Italian salamis and Spanish chorizo, hearty and delicious. For a more sophisticated man, indulge him with more rare and luxurious items like Jamon Iberico, a super flavorful and tender Spanish cured ham that is made from Spanish pigs raised on a diet of acorns. For bonus points, throw in some sides, likeFrench mustard or some Moroccan olives.

DUCK BREAST : Is the man in your life a more sophisticated gourmet? Then give him a gourmet gift thats a step above your well-known meats. A unique gourmet item, duck breast comes from the Muscovy or Moulard duck. Its delicious, both lean and flavorful at the same time, and known as duck steak. Hell love with a fresh and juicy boneless duck breast he can grill to perfection. You can also surprise him with a ready-to-eat wonderful smoked duck breast magret that he can slice into succulent sandwiches.

There you go, three great options to indulge the food-loving man in your life. Throw in a bottle of his favorite wine, or a six-pack of his favorite brew, slip into your best outfit, march on over, and conquer his heart by way of his stomach!
